when is bullying not bullying?

I'll tell you next week after I have taken my claims to senior management and the union.

One handed checkout opering

I can't believe that my store won't allow me to have an afternoon teabreak because I don't work an 8 hour day - only 7 1/2 hours and therefore only qualify for a morning break and unpaid lunch. The problem is that because of the cold weather my joints have swollen up in my right hand making my fingers go into spasm i.e. I spend all day working as a checkout operator on tills. The worst part is that I have been there 14 years.

Surely this can't be right?

Do you think checkout operators are intelligent?
